------- Additional comments from mux2...@openoffice.org Fri Sep 18 16:31:45 +0000 2009 ------- I don't think the world will ever be cleaned up. New incorrect uses of the context classloader comparable to that in JEditorPane() will spring up as fast as they are fixed in other places. There are many 3rd party Java libraries. How could we ever verify them all? I am a very experienced Java developer and I freely admit that I have only a basic understanding of classloaders. And I do think I am very representative of Java developers in this regard. It is irrelevant if developers should care more about classloaders and should take more time to study all of their intricacies. They don't. And this won't change. Classloaders are and will forever remain one of the obscure aspects of Java that developers only care about when things break. It is telling that it is a part of Swing's core code that has brought this issue to life. If even Sun's developers can't get context classloader use right, what do you expect? So I believe that the only safe choice (and IMHO only a safe choice is acceptable in an important application such as OOo) is to keep the current AttachGuard as the general case and only add the optimization where it is known to be safe. And since the normal AttachGuard can simply call the code of the FastAttachGuard and then add the classloader setup code, there is no redundant code that would cause a maintenance issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
